Spoiler
Much of the events of this novel take place aboard the Titanic, and a good chunk of the novel deals with the events of its 1912 sinking, in which over 1500 people died due to drowning and hypothermia. Some anti-Asian (particularly Chinese and Japanese) racial abuse is directed towards the MC and the other Chinese people aboard the ship, and a major plot point deals with the Chinese Exclusion Act, a racist policy banning Chinese people from entering the United States of America.maimy_ii's review against another edition
